DNA is exposed to both endogenous and exogenous DNA damaging agents that chemically modify it. To counteract the deleterious effects exerted by DNA lesions, eukaryotic cells have evolved a network of cellular pathways, termed DNA damage response (DDR). The DDR comprises both mechanisms devoted to ...
DNA tests can tell people where in the world their ancestors came from, and if they're at risk of developing different genetic conditions. They can sometimes even help people connect with family members they never knew they had. But how do these DNA tests work, and how can they tell if ...
How do cells help ensure that DNA replication is accurate? Does DNA polymerase 1 have exonuclease activity? Does DNA polymerase have exonuclease activity? Is telomerase a DNA polymerase? Why is DNA polymerase from thermus aquaticus ideal for PCR?

When the cell reproduces, it must pass all of this information on to the daughter cells. Before a cell can reproduce, it must first replicate — or make a copy of — its DNA. Where DNA replication occurs depends upon whether the cell is a prokaryote or a eukaryote. DNA replication ...
Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have discovered how a protein called lamin A helps repair the protective barrier around a cell's DNA. The findings reveal lamin A's unique role and its potential for treating
